Beyond Generation and Accuracy: Diagnosing and Enhancing Visual Chain-of-Thought for Geometry Problem Solving

While multimodal reasoning has advanced rapidly, solving complex geometry problems critically hinges on active visual assistance, such as constructing auxiliary lines, spurring the rise of Visual Chain-of-Thought (VCoT). However, existing evaluations typically assess visual generation quality and final answer accuracy in isolation, failing to examine whether intermediate visual aids are geometrically valid, effectively utilized in subsequent reasoning, or causally responsible for task success. To bridge this gap, we introduce GeoVAD-Bench, a diagnostic benchmark that pairs a fine-grained five-dimensional trajectory diagnosis covering perception, auxiliary quality, utilization, deductive r...
